Andy Murray will will make his comeback from illness this week against Spain's Feliciano Lopez. Andy will be hoping to get this clay court season off to a flying start after withdrawing from Valencia last week. Passage in the the second round will give him a match against Filippo Volandri or Nicolas Mahut and after that a possible, mouth-watering, clash with Novak Djokovic. Play commences in Monte Carlo at 10AM and the match is scheduled second so Murray should be on court at around midday. R1 > Lopez R2 > Volandri or Mahut R3 > Djokovic (expected) QF > Gasquet (expected) SF > Federer (expected) F > Nadal (expected) View the Full DrawVisit our forum and discuss his progress throughout the week. Murray and Ullyett reach finalJamie Murray and his temporary partner Kevin Ullyett have reached the final in the doubles event in Estoril.
They reached the final with a 3-6 6-4 10-6 victory over Frantisek Cermak and Jordan Kerr.
We played a horrible first set and really had to hustle to get the win. We're looking forward to the final now. The number one seeds, Jeff Coetzee and Wesley Moodie, will be the opponents on Sunday. This can be discussed in our Jamie Talk forum.

I don't expect Murray to get far but I am looking forward to a Djokovic rematch - Murray will lose but it will be interesting to see how close it gets.

Don't be pessimistic! At least, he has 10% chance to win

Pretty good start to the year for Feli so we shall see. Must admit I thought yea f**king right with the Djokovic clash being described as mouthwatering, Andy hasn't convinced me yet on clay what so ever

I have held the same thought re Andy on clay forever ......... I'd really like him to prove me wrong, otherwise,we're all going to be back in the doldrums!

Ooooooooooooooooh a possible meeting with Mahut in the second round  Don't think Mahut will beat Volandri on clay but you never know. I'm expecting a big performance from Andy tomorrow, he's got so much to prove.

I'll miss it, unless it's first match on but I'd prefer Andy to have an evening match for obvious reasons.

First round exit likely I think. Murray's clay season might not be much better than last year, when did not play at all. Everyone was assuming he would grab loads of points on clay, but I think he's going to do very badly.

Bold statement but you don't give any reasoning for your opinion?
